Under the Rocks: Album Release Concert
Friday, May 24 – 7:30 PM

Hailing from Kelowna, Under the Rocks has become one of Canada’s premier bluegrass bands. Their shows are full of dancing, laughter, joy, and hoots and hollers.

“This is no ordinary “local” band by any measure or meaning of that word. These are serious, national or international level players who have melded into a dynamic music project that would stand up against many of the best this genre has to offer.”

– Miles Overn, eiKelowna
